Jesus was God. the father, son, and holy ghost. So he had the holy ghost. He was born the son of God.Jesus and God is one. When he was here on earth he told man you must be born again with water and spirit. Jesus baptize us with the holy ghost. Power..
The reason jesus had to be baptized by john was to fulfill the whole law interesting note John the baptist was born with Holy spirit Jesus Christ was not.
In the comment above it says The acknowledgment of sin, repentance and baptism are prescribed as conditions of pardon. I do not see where we have to be baptised in water to be saved. Baptised into the holy spirit I see but not water. Is there something I am missing?

In Matthew 3 2 in Matthew 3 6 the people came to John confessing their sins and I believe that is what the Pharisees and the Sadducees didn 't do. They didn 't feel they were sinners in need of a Savior. In St. Mark 1 4 John preached the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins and when you repent or change your mind from what you thought you had to do for your salvation and simply believe you are immediately saved. I am not going to Heaven because I attend church 3 times a week, give money to the church, serve the Lord faithfully or have been water baptized. That has nothing to do with me going to Heaven. I am going to Heaven because I prayed a simple prayer to God confessing I am a sinner and I am putting my complete faith in the Blood of Jesus to forgive me of all my sins and give me the gift of eternal life. I called upon Jesus to save me completely Romans 10 9,10,13. In Acts 19 4 Paul tells us what John preached telling the people that they should believe on Jesus to be saved. Jesus is the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world according to John the Baptist in John 1 29. When you read Matthew 26 28, Luke 24 47, Romans 3 25, Acts 4 12, Acts 10 43 I John 1 7, 2 2, 5 13 and Revelation 1 5 you clearly understand remission or forgiveness of sins comes through the Blood of Jesus alone to receive salvation. Hebrews 9 22 tells us without shedding of blood there is no remission meaning forgiveness of sins from the Garden of Eden through the Book of Revelation. The song writer had it right "What can wash away my sin, nothing but the Blood of Jesus!!! "
It is written in in matthew 3 11 " I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire " He already came,so is it necessary to take a water baptism?

What a wounderful humility that our Lord Jesus had,so he thereby lay a good examply to us that we should be humble honest including straight forwading in all we do,becouse humility is next to God 's oneness.therefore lure into yourself the spirit of humilty. Yours in christ. Johnson
John was preparing the way for Christ and the law was about to end the axe is laid at the tree is letting the Jews know that this was ready to be put in motion and that CHRIST would set up a new and living way to give himself for the ransom of sin
verse 10: Hi Kelly. Hope this will be useful in answering your question. "the axe is already laid at the root of the trees" indicates the urgency with which the Jewish Nation was to accept salvation-procrastination and rejection of truth are dangerous and will result in our destruction. "so every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire" indicates that if salvation and truth do not sanctify the life and soul, we are bound for eternal death and destruction.
"Indeed the axe is already laid at the root of the trees; so every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."

John the baptist is warning the religious leaders that Jehovah God will raise up stones from the Gentiles unto Abraham. Thus fulfilling the prophecy that Abraham's seed will be as the sands of the sea shore.
Since Jesus was a Priest, The Mosiac Law indicated the He was to be baptised at the age of 30 and this is why He told John that the fulfillment of all rightouswness was to be done.
we need to be baptized to receive the holy spirit. the purpose Jesus got baptized, since he had already been born of the spirit, baptizing gave him to be oneness with god, as well as us. this is showing us that god had conquered the world where Satan throne is. dying on the cross, jesus proved the beginning of birth pains for humaniy to follow his steps to kill satan adversaries. it is our time to be baptized and kill the evil sin in us. the second coming of jesus is destroyin sin-satan forever. we are his faithful witnesss that will follow the procedures of the Lord. not that he needs us,to destroy evil but to demonstrate to evil, that god children who are written in the book of life is of the image of him, who can conquer. everyone has the opportunity to beleive or not in the Lord. i choose to beleive and wait for my treasure of heaven and not of the earth which is of satan; the materialism of the world. baptizing is to be conduct like Jesus did in the Jordan of water and sand. sand to prove god is our rock; water which is essential to life and to prove that jesus is the high priest not us; as he gave to each one of us the spirit, this is the reason for the word of god for baptism. amen come lord jesus. shalom!
the mateo 3:16 baptism to repent the only god can baptize the holy spirit the mateo 28:19 says go ye and teach them to baptize the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit the question is what is the name? of the father and the son and the holy spirit books of acts 2: 38 peter says repent and baptize to the name of jesus and you can recieve the holy spirit.
Lev, I believe it means that we must be willing to endure persecution. Romans 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Matthew 20:22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.
